Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and let it heat for 10 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, crumble the digestive biscuits into a coarse mixture.
  3. Melt 50 grams of salted butter and pour it over the biscuit crumbs. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Grease a rectangular ceramic tray and evenly press the biscuit mixture into the base to form a uniform layer.
  5. Refrigerate the base for 10 minutes to set.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 180 grams of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. Using a hand blender or a stand mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth, fluffy, and thick.
  3. Gradually add 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour (maida) and continue blending for another 2 minutes until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of strawberry compote or pie filling, swirling it through the mixture to create a marbled effect.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  1. Once the biscuit base has set in the fridge, pour the cheesecake batter over it.
  2. Spread the batter evenly and ensure the surface is smooth.
  3. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  4. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

Step 4: Set and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the cooled cheesecake bars for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to firm up.
  2. Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into squares or bars using a sharp knife.
  3. Serve chilled as a delightful snack after school, or as a decadent dessert at your next gathering.
